The Well Done Life

We're All Just Trying to Make It


Listen Later

In this episode, we’re peeling back the layers of perfection and performance to remind you of one simple truth: There’s no blueprint. No matter what Instagram looks like, no matter what the vision board said, and no matter how detailed the 5-year plan once was — life happens.

We talk about the reality that most people are just out here trying to make it day by day. Behind every curated photo, there’s someone navigating grief, healing from disappointment, pivoting after a plan fell through, or quietly carrying something heavy. And still, they get up, show up, and try again.

You’ll hear reflections on:
• How to let go of the pressure to have it all figured out
• Why it’s okay to change directions when life doesn’t go as planned
• How grief — whether from death, divorce, or dreams deferred — reshapes us, but doesn’t erase us
• The power of self-compassion and letting people live (because we’re all trying)
• Why surviving is sometimes more powerful than thriving

This episode is your permission slip to be human. To move forward even if it looks different than you imagined. To know that even when things break down, you won’t. You can rebuild. You will survive. And yes, you still deserve joy and peace — even in the in-between.

Because the truth is: there’s no perfect path. Just people doing the best they can with what they have, every single day. And that includes you.
